    Pambato natin............

    Yun bang T-28D Trojans (Tora-tora), ginagamit pa, o retired na.
    Yan atang OV-10 Broncos ang ginagamit pa. How about the F-5s?

    The OV-10 Broncos are fine aircraft for COIN ops. Except for Venezuela, most air forces that have the Bronco aren't in any hurry to replace them. The key is maintenance. Unfortunately, even funds for that seems to be lacking for the PAF.

    The Colombian AF have upgraded theirs. They now have 4-bladed props:


    As for modern aircraft, this is it for the PAF right now. AS-211:


    The rest of the PAF aircraft seems dedicated to moving political fatcats around. The PAF Order of Battle. It seems to be recent: http://www.scramble.nl/ph.htm

    In all 3 cases though, dual prop - type planes with ground support6 capability should be more than enough.
    mahirap eroplano sa counter-insurgency, mag-oovershoot lang sila sa liit ba naman ng Pilipinas

    dapat gunship yun katulad ng kalaban ni RamboIII

    So, what's there plenty of? Well, there's plenty of people. Maybe the AFP should make CAT mandatory for every able-bodied male and female from 18-48 years old, say one weekend a month. That should toughen up the populace and better ready to deal with an invasion.

    Not sure if that'll happen. But, it sounds good to me.
    yes sir, this is very feasible,i have an israeli friend and according to her,they were required to serve two years in the military service,male or female,dapat siguro ganun din tayo,kung kulang sa budget, manpower ang gamitin na natin.

    Yes indeed.
    After gaining my 'wings' I trained on Varsity multi-engined transport aircraft (known affectionately at the time as 'flying pigs'). Also flew Hercules for a while.
    Sadly for me the new Labour government cut back hugely on defense spending and after 5 years I retrained as an Air Traffic Control officer and thus carried on my association with flying and aircrew for another 5 years.
    We didn't have the benefits of simulators and powerful computers though.

    Happy times..only eclipsed when I married my gorgeous Pilipino wife in Palawan 2 years ago.

    Live your dreams.

    I'm surprised your wife lets you ride that rocket you have on your avatar. Normally, Pinays tend to be harsh towards anything that may harm their honey/breadwinner...... Just a heads up on what may lie on your future.
